<p>The best Bournemouth FPL players are not as obvious as they were once upon a time in 2019.</p>
<p>Back in the days of Eddie Howe&#8217;s Bournemouth reign, we looked to the ever-reliable Callum Wilson, flanked by explosive budget midfield options in Ryan Fraser and Josh King.</p>
<p>Fast-forward to 2022 and both Wilson and Fraser have joined Howe at Newcastle (the less said about Josh King&#8217;s time at Watford, the better).</p>
<p>But what does this mean for the newly promoted Cherries? Can anyone fill the Wilson shaped hole in our hearts?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s find out &#8211; it&#8217;s time to look at the best three Bournemouth FPL options for the 2022/23 season.</p>

</ul>
<h2>How Bournemouth performed in 2022/23: Cherries in brief</h2>
<p>Managed by former England man Scott Parker, Bournemouth in their current iteration have somewhat followed in his footsteps in terms of playing style.</p>
<p>Like Parker, they are conservative yet hard-working, incorporating possession based football going forward whilst remaining highly structured positionally and defensively.</p>
<p>This is not to say that they necessarily &#8216;park the bus&#8217; on a regular basis, but more that they employ the kind of cautious style which allowed them to pick up clean sheets in 57% of their away games last season &#8211; although they relied heavily upon the goalkeeping heroics of Mark Travers.</p>
<p>Think Manchester City &#8211; Pep&#8217;s side will grab a goal or two, and then happily keep possession in their own half, rather than expend further energy to increase their lead.</p>
<p>Similarly, Bournemouth will not throw players forward from a winning position, maintaining a primary focus of solidity and results oriented football.</p>
<p>Bournemouth utilised this regimented strategy successfully in the Championship, finishing second on 88 points &#8211; just two behind champions Fulham.</p>
<p>Arriving in the Premier League will certainly put these footballing values to the test &#8211; just as it did to Scott Parker&#8217;s similarly defensive-minded Fulham two seasons ago.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The best Bournemouth FPL players: Dominic Solanke (£6.0m)</h2>
<p>With just over 2% ownership at the time of writing, <strong>Dominic Solanke</strong> is currently far and away the highest-owned Bournemouth asset in FPL.</p>
<p>Standing at 6ft 2ins, the former Liverpool striker has plenty of pace, strength, and goalscoring pedigree.</p>
<p>Whilst he couldn&#8217;t quite cut it under Jurgen Klopp, the England man has shown plenty of quality since joining Bournemouth in 2019.</p>
<p>In the Championship, Solanke managed an impressive 44 goals and 18 assists in just 85 appearances. He contributed to 49% of Bournemouth&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/a-simple-guide-to-opta-stats-for-fpl">expected goals</a> (xG) last season.</p>
<p>Whether or not these kinds of numbers will carry over to the Premier League is a point of contention, but at just £6.0m, he is one of the cheapest starting forwards in the game.</p>
<p>Importantly, he is number-one penalty taker for the Cherries. Bournemouth were awarded five penalties in 2021/22 and Solanke took all five of them.</p>
<p>Add to this his talismanic presence, as a physical and technically gifted number nine who brings others into play, and there is a strong case to be made for Solanke as a fantasy option.</p>
<p>Whilst Bournemouth&#8217;s opening <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/"><strong>fixtures</strong></a> aren&#8217;t the kindest, they welcome Villa, Arsenal and Wolves to the Vitality Stadium in their first five, and you would expect the home side to create at least some chances for their big man up front.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re unlikely to find many 90 minute strikers at this price point &#8211; let alone penalty takers &#8211; and for that reason, Solanke looks like the pick of this particular bunch of Cherries.</p>

<h2></h2>
<h2>The best Bournemouth FPL players: Philip Billing (£5.5m)</h2>
<p>You thought Solanke was the big man at the Vitality? Think again.</p>
<p>At 6ft 6ins, <strong>Philip Billing</strong> is a towering presence in the Bournemouth midfield; and in simple terms, he can do the lot.</p>
<p>A dynamic box-to-box midfielder, Billing is a long shot taker, tough tackler, and genuine creative influence for the Cherries.</p>
<p>His attacking contributions are certainly not to be underrated from an FPL perspective.</p>
<p>At times last season, the Danish midfielder was given the freedom to move ahead of his two fellow central midfielders, playing almost as a second striker, just off of Solanke.</p>
<p>Parker&#8217;s faith in Billing&#8217;s attacking attributes was certainly rewarded: in 40 Championship appearances, he racked up 10 goals and 10 assists.</p>
<p>He is also, unsurprisingly, an aerial threat, offering goals and assists from set-piece scenarios as an additional route to FPL points.</p>
<p>Still not convinced? Billing was also on direct free kicks last season, taking seven of them &#8211; four more than any other Bournemouth player.</p>
<p>The big Dane is truly a jack of all trades, and could be an exciting addition both to the Premier League and our FPL teams in 2022/23.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The best Bournemouth FPL players: Jordan Zemura (£4.5m)</h2>
<p>Zimbabwe international<strong> Jordan Zemura</strong> is the most attacking of Bournemouth&#8217;s defensive assets.</p>
<p>2021/22 was Zemura&#8217;s first season as a senior professional, and he made the most of it, scoring three goals from left-back across 35 appearances.</p>
<p>He is also an accomplished passer and dribbler, which he showed last season, as he tended to get forward far more than his right-sided counterpart.</p>
<p>Zemura created plenty of chances in 2021/22, with 24 key passes &#8211; although he only managed one assist.</p>
<p>He also took 10 shots from inside the penalty area, and if he can continue to bomb on down the left side, he could be in line for some attacking returns.</p>
<p>Additionally, Bournemouth&#8217;s aforementioned defensive solidity under Scott Parker may lend itself to an increased number of clean sheets.</p>
<p>The Cherries don&#8217;t have the easiest of starts, but their <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fantasy-premier-league-fixture-list-for-2022-23-season-revealed/">fixtures</a> seriously ease up after Gameweek 4. They face just one of last season&#8217;s top six between Gameweek 5 and Gameweek 16!</p>
<div id="attachment_47292" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-47292" class="wp-image-47292 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/zemura.jpg" alt="zemura" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/zemura.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/zemura-300x200.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/zemura-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/zemura-610x407.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><p id="caption-attachment-47292" class="wp-caption-text">Jordan Zemura.

<h2>The best Bournemouth FPL players: <strong>Honourable mentions</strong></h2>
<p>Two of Bournemouth&#8217;s £5.5m midfield assets could also pose a threat.</p>
<p>Young winger <strong>Jaidon Anthony</strong> picked up 8 goals and 7 assists last season, and is tipped by Bournemouth fans to take his red-hot attacking form to the Premier League.</p>
<p><strong>David Brooks</strong>, meanwhile, has suffered with injury and illness issues, but remains a proven top-flight goalscorer. He managed 8 goals and 5 assists in 39 Premier League appearances, and has the edge on Anthony in that he has already proven capable of making the step up to the highest level.</p>
